中国辽代农业发展的主要动因

The Main Cause of Agricultural Development of Liao Dynasty in the North of China

辽代是生活在中国东北部契丹族建立的大辽政权,契丹族农业发展以辽代建国前后划分界线。辽代建国以前,虽然契丹族原始的粗放农业在迭刺部中就已出现,但主要的生活方式还是游牧生活。辽代建国后,由于辽的统治者非常重视农业和汉族带来的先进的农业技术,使辽代的农业有了很大发展,农业在辽代经济中逐渐占居了主导地位。统治阶层、铁制农具、兴修水利和汉族知识分子对辽代农业做出了重要贡献。

Liao Dynasty was a regime established by the Khitan tribe who lived in the northeast of China. The founding of Liao Dynasty is regarded as a divide in terms of agricultural development of the Khitan tribe. Although primitive extensive agriculture had existed in the Die La tribe before Liao Dynasty was established, nomadic life was still the main style of life of the dynasty. After Liao Dynasty was found, the rulers of Liao Dynasty began to attach much importance to agriculture and advanced farming technologies brought by the Han people, which greatly promoted agricultural development of Liao Dynasty. Since then, agriculture had gradually dominated the economy of Liao Dynasty.
